Got my HD Screaming Eagle turnout pipe installed today. OH MY GOD! Is it a head turner! Oh yeah, I'm riding with the Big Boys now! [picture me doing cool dance]
So, can you tell I like it?
When I took it for a test ride it was like a new bike! I swear it goes faster with that pipe on it. I was getting head turns from the Harley boys...thumbs up as I went by. It feels good to be BAD! If you haven't upgraded your muffler, you have got to. But I warn you, this pipe is LOUD. If you don't want loud (like..go deaf after a long ride loud), then don't do it. However, ear plugs are cheap.
The upgrade was not hard. Bought the kit from ebay (if whoever sells it is on the site...I kiss your feet..smack!). The instructions were very clear with pictures, but really not the necessary. Taking the old muffler off was the hard part. Putting the new one on was very easy. I didn't bend the tab as recommended (which seemed very hard to do). Instead I bought a wrap around muffler hanging kit at the auto store (2 bolts and wrap metal strip with holes in it). I wrapped it around muffler hanger and stuck the bolt two holes at the right length, and cut the remander off with my drimmel. Simple and doesn't look out of place.
So now my Savage has a Sportster seat (with the emblem on the back), and a HD turnout pipe (with the HD logo on the pipe), and no Suzuki emblems on it anywhere (getting it ready for painting). I wonder if people will be confused seeing what looks like a one-lung "Harley"! I kinda feel like the old Johny Cash song about the pieced together Caddy. "Hey, dude...what IS that thing"
